ceaon Gallente	Posted - 2009.07.19 15:42:00 - [61] Originally by: Zortono Originally by: Gnulpie Escalate it to Senior GM. A neutral repping a pos of a war target will become flagged and the war target will be able to legally kill those repping people. Why this is supposed to be an exploit is beyond my understanding. I can only assume some mistake here, therefore escalate the petition until you get a detailed explanation. After reading your reply I politely asked the GM to escalate this issue to a senior GM, he replied reassuring me that this was 'indeed an exploit' and denied the request. email internal affairs whit petition ID Please resize your signature to the maximum file size of 24000 bytes.

Zortono Gallente	Posted - 2009.07.19 18:24:00 - [62] I requested again that the petition be escalated to a senior GM. Still waiting for a response.

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2009.07.20 17:10:00 - [63] Apparently the system for this is currently broken and that is why it is considered an exploit. Our Customer Support team are making sure it's being worked on and we hope it will be fixed soon.

So, is it an exploit or not, as you mention the system is broken? ----------------------------------------------- Annonymous, trading as "Weight What".
Viqer Fell Minmatar The Good old Days	Posted - 2009.07.20 17:31:00 - [65] It will be the same as in previous years where normally it is not an exploit however whilst the system is broken then IT IS an exploit. I imagine that once the system is back working again as intended then it will no longer be an exploit. It's how it's worked in the past with other broken game mechanics.
Wendat Huron Stellar Solutions	Posted - 2009.07.20 17:34:00 - [66] Originally by: TimMc Edited by: TimMc on 19/07/2009 12:48:47 Originally by: Johnathan Walker Dumb question: How would I know a neutral's corp is at war or not? They could TELL me they're not at war and I wouldn't know the difference. Enter ban hammer, unless there is a way to check if a corp is at war with another. Please no flames; I am not aware of such a function and would like to learn Corp tab > wars > Other wars Then search for that corporation and it will say the wars against that corp. Isn't that function broken since like forever? I've not been able to find anyone elses wars in ages. Delenda est achura.

Gone'Postal Void Engineers Mass - Effect	Posted - 2009.07.20 17:47:00 - [69] So when is it going to be fixed? is there a internal patch? How long have CCP been aware that it's broken? Originally by: masternerdguy Officer mods arent spread out because the bpos are innacesible to 99% of eve.
Ephemeron North Eastern Swat Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.07.20 18:21:00 - [70] What is the intended game mechanic for this - when it's not broken?

Holy Lowlander Lone Star Joint Venture Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.07.20 18:27:00 - [71] Originally by: CCP Wrangler Originally by: Weight What Originally by: CCP Wrangler Apparently the system for this is currently broken and that is why it is considered an exploit. Our Customer Support team are making sure it's being worked on and we hope it will be fixed soon. So, is it an exploit or not, as you mention the system is broken? As long as the intended function is broken it is considered an exploit by our Customer Support department. maybe it might just be time to hire some people who actually know the rules of the game. If players can't get a clear list of what is and what isn't an exploit , why can people CCP pays to check on this can (and apperently need it) ? Not even to mention that this sounds more like some bad excuse as a valid reason. The alliance logo submission tool is also mysteriously broken , even for logos what where approved and ready to be implented ingame . Petitions that then get mysteriously closed and systematically ignored to eventually just pretend like a logo is allready in game when it clearly isn't. Wouldn't it be time to review the customer support of CCP , because it is outragious to let people like these help paying customers. _______________ Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes.

Xianbei	Posted - 2009.07.20 20:38:00 - [72] Edited by: Xianbei on 20/07/2009 20:38:25 the phrasing is poor "if the pilots involved are not members of the corporation owning the starbase or members of a corporation in the same alliance." its not just neuts. if a wartarget reps the POS its an exloit too why would an WT rep an enemy POS ? accidental module activation or even corp spy but as long as they are warning pilots several times before banning its not that big a deal

Our Customer Support team are making sure it's being worked on and we hope it will be fixed soon. So is there a fix in the pipeline for people deleting toons with low security rating (which is also considered an exploit)?

Gunnanmon Gallente UNITED STAR SYNDICATE	Posted - 2009.07.20 21:31:00 - [75] Originally by: Destination SkillQueue At the risk of sounding negative on our otherwise positive forum, some of the GMs in the game have a reputation of being worthless sacks of excrement. Without a senior GMs confirmation I have a little trouble believing it is an exploit. lol, nicely put. Signature locked for discussing moderation. Navigator
Azuse Brotherhood of Suicidal Priests KIA Alliance	Posted - 2009.07.20 22:01:00 - [76] Originally by: CCP Wrangler Apparently the system for this is currently broken and that is why it is considered an exploit. Our Customer Support team are making sure it's being worked on and we hope it will be fixed soon. Not to be s fuss or anything, but it's difficult to have faith (no matter how well meaning) when you come forward saying that when this has been "getting fixed" for over two years, apparently. Why exactly is it considered an exploit? The reppers get flagged, or is the flagging bugged? If repping a neutral pos the flags you is en exploit why then is using neutral alts to rep you during a war not? -------------------------
Poreuomai Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.07.20 22:21:00 - [77] Originally by: CCP Wrangler As long as the intended function is broken it is considered an exploit by our Customer Support department. We could really do with a central list of all exploits, so we know what is/not allowed. I never would have guessed that repping someone else's POS is an exploit. --- *Let My People Go*
Fig Jam	Posted - 2009.07.20 23:48:00 - [78] Well, what if you were to rep a defending war target (i.e. the owner of the POS, not the ones attacking it) before repping the POS? That would flag you to the attackers regardless of whether the flagging for repping the POS is bugged or not. Since they can then attack you I doubt that it could be claimed as an exploit.
Constable Chang Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2009.07.21 01:40:00 - [79] Originally by: Poreuomai Originally by: CCP Wrangler As long as the intended function is broken it is considered an exploit by our Customer Support department. We could really do with a central list of all exploits, so we know what is/not allowed. I never would have guessed that repping someone else's POS is an exploit. Would you have guessed that jetcan mining was an exploit? Because it was at first. Basically the word 'exploit' has, in the context of an MMO, come to mean 'anything that the MMO company did not anticipate'. It no longer means 'taking advantage of a bug'; it can mean 'working smarter not harder'. Anything that you do in an MMO which required original or 'out of the box' thinking could be declared an 'exploit' these days.

LordSwift Caldari	Posted - 2009.07.21 09:51:00 - [82] Just a quick Q, if i see some guns at a moon with no pos. can i fix the guns and take them without getting in trouble. They have been there a good while now Join the brown Coats today!!!
Wai Ng'Tse	Posted - 2009.07.21 10:57:00 - [83] some say that they have been doing this for a long time in empire wars. and too right that they didn't know if the last news-article on it is 2 years old! is it time for a list of known "exploits" and bannable offences? Of course this would open up the opportunity for people wanting to use the exploit, but a better exploit tracking system would eliminate that possibility bundled with a 0-tolerance 3 strike system (e.g. 1st offence, 24h ban, 2nd offence, 7 day ban, 3rd offence permanent ban). It sounds like a bad idea to me, but right now players getting warnings for thing that they didn't know where exploits is pretty lame.
Ice Moon	Posted - 2009.07.21 11:28:00 - [84] I asked for a list of exploits a while ago as I have no frickin' idea what's an exploit or what isn't, and I was promptly told that asking for lists of exploits / discussing exploits / listing exploits... ... are not allowed. I mean, in all honesty, how can I follow the rules if I don't know what they are? And if the answer is "They're all obvious", then, er why does this thread exist? Anyone know why there's a problem telling us what we're not allowed to do? Ice (Confused)
Poreuomai Minmatar Mirkur Draug'Tyr Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.07.21 11:38:00 - [85] Originally by: Wai Ng'Tse Of course this would open up the opportunity for people wanting to use the exploit ... I understand, but that's a bit like saying we'd better not publish our country's laws in case they give some criminals ideas. --- *Let My People Go*
Chrysalis D'lilth	Posted - 2009.07.21 12:34:00 - [86] Originally by: CCP Wrangler Originally by: Weight What Originally by: CCP Wrangler Apparently the system for this is currently broken and that is why it is considered an exploit. Our Customer Support team are making sure it's being worked on and we hope it will be fixed soon. So, is it an exploit or not, as you mention the system is broken? As long as the intended function is broken it is considered an exploit by our Customer Support department. As much as i try to empathise with CCP or any other MMO company about those who exploit loop holes in programming and how annoying such activities must be to an MMO developer, i'm reminded constantly about corporate bodies who produce software/hardware that is used by far more customers than a product such as EvE. Sure an MMO is complicated, of that their can be no doubt, but there are in existance pieces of software that are in their own way, similarly complex and accomodate a huge customer base. It never ceases to amaze me when it comes to MMO's that a companies own short comings in terms of lack of product knowledge, training/lack of development skills and perhaps most importantly insufficient testing (which would stop such things ever making into a 'live version), are hidden behind the old addage of the term 'exploit' and then used as a means in which to persecute their own customers. Such a response (and again, i know this is the way most MMO companies operate), has always struck me as unproffessional to the point of being thick-headed when the more respectable approach would be to offer an apology for whatever issues it has caused and fix the problem immediately. Afterall, none of this would be possible if the software was scripted correctly & tested adequately in the first place. In other corporate environments, if such a shortcoming was identified, it would be fixed, not in 6 months time, not in the next patch - if a loophole was considered serious, then it would be fixed before it hit the news section of their web page and perhaps more importantly, steps taken by the company to try and ensure a more thorough testing and validation process takes place.

That's the point, do try to learn English fully before attempting insults Still, it doesn't detract from the fact that it's been "getting fixed" for two plus years *The EVE servers and their patches*
Milla Jovo	Posted - 2009.07.21 18:26:00 - [90] I will be banned if I keep repping a neutral POS What about nuet repping someone who is getting shot at and not getting flaged (to the other guy doing the shooting) as a target. must be a bug also
